trainee, or time-limited appointment are covered for non-job related civil leave.
(Employees with a temporary, intermittent or part-time [less than half-time] appointment
are not eligible for non-job related civil leave but are eligible for job-related
civil leave and other job-related proceedings.)

The employee:

should report back to work as soon as jury duty is completed, and

must report back to work the day following completion of the duty.
